MBF_ImageJ for Microscopy

MS Windows installation:
1. Uninstall or rename current ImageJ.
2. Download ~20Mb MBF_ImageJ.exe

3. Run program to install.
The installation adds shortcut to Desktop, adds menu items and adds ImageJ to registry. ImageJ automatically sets the memory allocation when it is first started thanks to George Silva's modifications of the ImageJ.exe launcher file.

If you receive an error at the end of the installation it probably means that you do not have administrative rights on the machine and ImageJ cannot be registered in the registry. ImageJ should still run OK but you will not be able to associate it with file types (see below).

4. See Online Manual for information about collection and the authors of the plugins in the collection.

Files can be associated with ImageJ by:
a. Right-click on file;
b. Select pop-up menu item "Open With/Choose Program"
c. Select "ImageJ" from list and check the "Always use this program..." checkbox.

When you double-click on this file type it should now automatically use ImageJ as the viewer.

Mac and Linux users
1. Download your OS specific version of ImageJ from the ImageJ website.

2. Download MBF_ImageJ.zip (~17Mb) and unzip to ImageJ folder.
(This contains only the plugins, IJ preferences,  Macros, LUTs and plugin source code).

3. For Mac:  The IJPrefs.txt file needs to be moved to the Library/Preferences folder in your home directory.

4. Set memory allocation to 66% system RAM. Menu command: "Image/Edit/Memory" .
